DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle bath resealing in Kendray
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kendray and across Barnsley.

Resealing in Kendray: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Kendray: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Kendray?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kendray from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Landlord and trade work in Kendray
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Common problems we fix in Kendray
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
